I was in a card shop several years ago. The owner told me about a customer who brought in a 1986 Donruss Jose Canseco rookie card in a screw-down holder without a plastic sleeve. The owner told the customer that he would buy the card only if the customer could remove the card from the screw-down holder in one piece. The customer unscrewed the screws and pulled the two sides of the holder apart. As he pulled the two sides apart, the card was pulled into two pieces, the front half being stuck to the screw-down holder. Needless to say, the owner was not interested in buying the card.
